How stamp duty is calculated
Singapore stamp duty can involve up to three separate duties, each worked out differently. Here’s how each amount above is derived.
Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD)
Paid by every buyer on the higher of purchase price or market value, using progressive tiers (rates on or after 15 Feb 2023). Each slice of the price is taxed at its own rate, then the parts are summed.
| Price slice | Residential | Non-residential |
|---|---|---|
| First $180,000 | 1% | 1% |
| Next $180,000 | 2% | 2% |
| Next $640,000 | 3% | 3% |
| Next $500,000 | 4% | 4% |
| Next $1,500,000 | 5% | 5% |
| Remaining amount | 6% | 5% |
Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD)
An extra duty on residential purchases, charged as a flat percentage of the whole price/value based on the buyer’s profile and how many residential properties they will then own (rates on or after 27 Apr 2023).
| Buyer profile | 1st property | 2nd | 3rd & subsequent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore Citizen | 0% | 20% | 30% |
| Singapore PR | 5% | 30% | 35% |
| Foreigner | 60% | 60% | 60% |
| Entity / Trustee | 65% | 65% | 65% |
Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD)
Payable when you sell a residential property within the holding period, as a flat percentage of the sale price/value (for residential property acquired on or after 4 Jul 2025). Hold longer and the rate steps down to zero.
| Holding period | SSD rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 year | 16% |
| More than 1 and up to 2 years | 12% |
| More than 2 and up to 3 years | 8% |
| More than 3 and up to 4 years | 4% |
| More than 4 years | 0% |
